In Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato's short, Shantay, Shantay (RuPaul) is a supermodel/secret agent to the president/diva extraordinaire. On her way to a runway show, there is a hostage situation at a clothing factory. The police are not dealing with the situation well, so Shantay steps in and frees the hostages. After freeing the hostages, she addresses the public with a speech about hope, faith and freedom and reminds them that these are the foundations that make this country fabulous. However, during this fabulous spiel, the criminal escapes. A chase ensues and Shantay follows him to an abandoned warehouse where she it is captured by her arch nemesis and fashion villainess Toyota Carter (Kathy Najimy).More Info

Good job but i think you should mention Rupaul and his/her transgressive history within 90's camp and transgendered iconography.
(ie song, tv show, etc)
